India v England: Hosts win fourth T20 by eight runs to set up series decider
Suryakumar Yadav hit a sparkling 57 off 31 balls in his first international innings as the hosts posted a challenging 185-8 on the best batting surface of the series.
The first victory by the side batting first in this series means it is tied at 2-2 going into the final game at the same venue on Saturday. Dawid Malan is the world's number one T20 batsman for good reason, but his tendency to play himself in proved costly here as he made 14 off 17 balls before being bowled round his legs by leg-spinner Rahul Chahar.
The canny Thakur then removed Morgan, who put himself down the order to six, leaving the lower order with too much to do as India's fine bowling performance showed winning the toss is not always a guarantee of victory.With both openers falling cheaply and Adil Rashid having Kohli stumped off a googly for only one, it seemed India might again fail to set an imposing total.
After sumptuously sweeping Sam Curran for six, he was dismissed in controversial fashion playing the same shot next up.
